From the 14th century through 1944, Bánffy Castle was occupied by members of the aristocratic Bánffy family, whose ranks included the first governor of Transylvania under the Hapsburgs as well as a 19th-century prime minister of Hungary. Throughout the centuries, Bánffy Castle was transformed to reflect the changing tastes of this wealthy and powerful family.
